Comparing Two Sprinkler System Quotes: Rain Bird vs. Hunter—Which Offers Better Value?

Quote 1: Hunter Pro‑C, 10 PGP, 17 Pro Sprays, 5 Zones, Wireless Sensor $200, 5‑yr Warranty, $2,800

Quote 2: Rain Bird ESP, 8×5004 Rotors, 12×1812 Sprays, 10×1804 Sprays, 8 Valves, Rain Sensor Included, $2,500

Assuming equal installation quality (no saddle fittings, proper backflow), Quote 2 is better because:

1. 12‑inch spray heads (1812) for flower beds—superior to 4‑inch heads.
2. Rain sensor included (Hunter wireless sensor has known issues and backorders).
